Sometimes I think we go through hard things and then hide them. Or at least not talk about them. Sometimes it's easier to avoid them. Maybe it's too raw and real. We let memories fade and time pass and sometimes, we forget. We forget how God was with us, and we forget that people are … Continue reading Memories of My Miscarriage

I also love Pinterest. I go through seasons of pinning like crazy, followed by seasons of wishing that I could actually … Continue reading Homemade Valentines
